He opened his eyes, only to find himself inside a room of some kind. 'What the hell?' he thought to himself as he glanced around, trying to get a grasp of what had happened. 'I was at headquarters. How did I get here?' he wondered.

The room itself was all light, and extremely well lit, yet at first glance; he didn't see any light fixtures of any kind. There were no windows, no doors, at least not the conventional type. Along each of the walls, ceiling and floor, there were small ladders embedded inside, and a small black panel. 'Looks just big enough for someone to get through,' he thought, slowly approaching one of the squares.

There weren't discernable handles or knobs of any type, leading him to believe that it opened by other means. He called out to it, but voice recognition wasn't working. There was no thumbprint, as far as he could tell, for a print analysis, and no retinal scanning device. Instead of trying to find a way out, he decided to figure out how he got in there in the first place. 'The best way to do that is to figure out where here is,' he thought.

He observed that he wasn't hot or cold, making it reasonable to assume that there was a climate control system of some kind. The room itself was a perfectly shaped square, and each of the designs seemed to be the same on every side. The ladders were embedded in the same place on either side, and the smaller black panels were in the same place. There were no sounds, so he assumed that it was sound proofed.

'But how did I get here?' he asked himself. He attempted to retrace his steps, recalling the events that led to him… appearing there. 'I was at headquarters with the others, and there was a flash of light, then… I was here,' he thought. 'Maybe I was transported here. But by who?' he wondered.

He decided to try one of the small black panels again, climbing a few rungs of the ladder, getting a good look at it. There was something on it, something imprinted into it. It was faint, but still visible. It was a square of some kind. 'No wait, it's a tesseract,' he thought. 'But I thought that was only theoretical,'

Suddenly, the black panel slid open. It was enough to make him stumble backwards, falling off the ladder and to the floor. He glanced up as she stuck her head through the opening.

"Oh my God, I was beginning to think I was the only person in this thing," she said eagerly, climbing through the opening. As soon as she was through, the panel closed. "Now this is just weird,"

"What?"

"This room looks just like the one I was just in," she noticing, glancing around the room.

He stood up, walking over to her. "Who are you? How did you get here?" he asked her.

"I'm Kelsey," she introduced, extending her hand to him.

He reluctantly obliged her. "Alexander," he said, not wanting to tell her much more than that.

"So how long have you been in here?"

"I don't know, a few minutes maybe. I was at work, and there was a flash of light, then I was here," he told her.

"Me too. I was at work, and there was some kind of light,"

"Did you black out?"

"No, it just kinda… happened," she said.

"Is there anyone from your workplace here with you?" he asked her.

"No, just me,"

"What do you do for a living?" he inquired.

"I'm the yellow Lightspeed ranger," she said cheerfully.

He paused. "I thought you looked familiar. You're Kelsey Winslow," he said. "But how is that possible?"

"What do you mean?"

"Kelsey, what year is it?" he asked.

"It's the year 2000," she told him.

"And you say you just arrived here?"

"Yeah, maybe 15 minutes ago. I couldn't figure out how to open the door thingy until now," she pointed out.

"Apparently in this place, time has no meaning," he walked to the opposite side of the room. "I've never seen anything like this before. Everything is so precise, so…" he was cut short.

"Square?" Kelsey blurted out.

"Do you and the other rangers have any enemies that would want to transport you into something like… like this?" he asked her.

"I don't think Queen Bansheera is capable of something like this," he looked at him strangely. "Are you from Mariner Bay?"

"No," he said dryly.

"I don't recognize the uniform you have on. Are you military?" she asked.

"You could say that," he said, trying not to tell her too much.

Things were complicated enough, telling her he was from the year 3000 would only complicate matters. 'The last thing I need is her asking me a bunch of questions I can't answer,' he thought to himself.

"So… what do you wanna do?"

"If there's a way into this place, there has to be a way out. Chances are if we go through enough of these rooms, we'll come to the end," he said.

"Sounds good. So which way do we go?"

"Down," he said, walking over to the panel on the floor. "So how did you get this thing open?"

She hurried over to him, placing her hand in the middle of the panel. The door slid open, and the two of them peeked inside. "Ladies first," she said eagerly, carefully climbing through the hole. Once she was through, she tried to fall through the ground, but didn't.

"What the hell?" he mumbled, peeking through.

"I don't know. I'm sticking to the ceiling," she called out.

"Are you stuck?"

"No, I can move around just fine, but its like in this room, the ceiling is the floor," she told him.

"It's the gravity, somehow its different in that room," he mentioned, carefully climbing in himself. Once he was through, the door closed, and the two of them found themselves standing on the ceiling.

They both glanced down, but the surroundings hadn't changed. That room looked identical to the room they'd left only seconds ago. Regardless to their situation, Alex walked to the end of the room, using the ladder embedded in the wall to climb down, making his way towards the door again.

"I'm starting to think this isn't such a good idea," Kelsey complained, watching him as he placed his hand on the panel, opening the door.

"Well staying put isn't an option," he said, going through the door. Once he was through, he turned around, glancing upwards at her. "You coming?"

Before she could answer, the door closed. 'Damn it,' he thought, quickly putting his hand on the panel again, but when the door opened, she was gone. 'What the hell?' he groaned. He allowed it to close again, and then reopen, but still, no Kelsey.

Finally, he decided the best thing to do was keep moving. He headed for the next panel on the floor, opening the panel and going through. As soon as he stuck his head through, someone grabbed him, snatching him through. He fell to the floor, and before he could get back to his feet, he was standing over him.

"Stay where you are," he snapped. Alex glanced up at him. At first glance, he appeared to be an Asian man, maybe in his early twenties, but the glasses his wore seemed to give him the appearance of being older. "Care to tell me what's going on?"

"That seems to be the question of the day," Alex slowly got back to his feet. "I'm stuck in here, just like you are,"

"Where is here?"

"Again, good question. I wish I knew what to tell you," he quickly extended his hand to him, hoping to ease the tension between them. "My name is Alexander," he introduced.

He looked at Alex's hand, trying to determine if he was sincere or not. Finally, despite his better judgment, he obliged him. "Cam," he said.

'No, it couldn't be, could it?' he asked himself, getting a good look at him. 'It is, its Cameron Watanbe, the green samurai ranger,' he thought to himself. Although he recognized Cam from the history logs, he decided it was best not be mention that to him.

"So, where you from Cam?"

"Blue Bay Harbor, California. You?"

He paused. "Silver Hills, California," he told him. "How did you get here?" he asked.

"There was a flash of light. It was so bright I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, I was here," he said.

"How long have you been here?"

"A far as I can tell, almost a full day now," Cam told him.

"There's a young woman here, Kelsey, but we were separated. Our plan was to keep going in a straight line until we got to the end,"

"How's that workin' out for you?"

"This is my third room," he walked over to the panel on the floor, opening it. "You're welcome to tag along," he said, climbing through the door.

After weighing all the options carefully, Cam decided to take him up on his offer. He climbed through the opening, and when he made it to the other side, he saw Alex standing face to face with a young woman.

"How did you get ahead of me? How is that possible?" Alex asked her.

"I don't know. When you left me, I tried to open the door to follow you through, but you were gone. I thought you left me," she said.

"I tried to reopen the door, but you were gone," he told her.

"What the hell is this place?" she sighed.

"I see you found your friend," Cam said, walking over to them.

"Cam, this is Kelsey. Kelsey, this is Cam," he quickly introduced.

She waved slightly. "Hey, at least we're on the floor this time," she pointed out.

"I still say we keep moving," Alex said, making his way to the next panel. He opened it and tried to go through, but couldn't.

"What's wrong?"

"The gravity in that room is different too, I can't get in," he sighed.

"Can't we just go around?" Cam suggested.

"No, traveling from room to room will be pointless. Obviously going in a straight line won't help. If it did, Alex couldn't have bumped into me," she said.

"That isn't true, maybe if we each took different doors, we could have…" he was cut short.

"This is the same room you left me in. I haven't moved since you left an hour ago," Kelsey told him.

"An hour ago?"

"Yes,"

"I just left that room no more than 3 minutes ago," Alex said.

"That isn't possible," Cam said.

"Its this place. Wherever we are, time seems to have no meaning. The laws of physics as we know it have been thrown out the window, and this place is playing with its own set of rules," Alex said.

"How is that possible?"

"I don't know, but it explains why gravity is different from room to room, how we were able to find Kelsey even though she never left this room, and it explains why almost an hour went by for her, but only a few minutes for me," he pointed out.

"For something like that to be possible, it would have to exist outside our space/time continuum," Cam brought up.

"I don't have all the answers yet, but I say we keep moving. Maybe we're not alone in here, maybe we can find some answers," he suggested.

Kelsey nodded in agreement. "Okay, lets go," she said.
